GIF 2011 Volume 9: Issue: 8 (November/December)
As Geospatial Intelligence Forum gets ready to enter its 10th year of publication, we’re excited about the outlook for the magazine of the national intelligence community as it enters 2012.
After a highly successful 2011, we are planning to further improve our coverage of intelligence and geospatial technologies with a host of interesting new features, articles and interviews with key decision-makers. Our first Cover Story Question & Answer interview in the new year will be with Caryn Wagner, undersecretary of homeland security for intelligence and analysis, followed by the leaders of other key defense and intelligence agencies, who know us as an effective forum for communicating their perspectives to their communities and Congress.
In September, we’ll unveil the list of the “2012 Top Intelligence and Geospatial Companies,” followed by our big GEOINT 2012 Symposium issue in October. We’re also planning on a series of special reports on news-making organizations and issues.
There will be other changes as well, including in the relationship between KMI Media Group and the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Foundation.
The partnership between GIF and the foundation, which began nearly three years ago, has been a productive one for both organizations. Each has grown and prospered during this time, and some of the joint efforts that have resulted have had a real impact on the field.
The time of transition has come for this particular relationship, however. We’ll continue to work together in other ways, as each organization pursues through different means their common goal of promoting and strengthening geospatial and other intelligence technologies.
As it enters its 10th year of publication, GIF is thriving, and more than ever dedicated to its mission of serving the military and intelligence communities and increasing awareness of the world-changing field of geospatial technology. ♦
